Does anyone remember Gloops?

Recommended Posts

My nickname in school (1947-54) was always Gloops! Being a little fat, and wearing glasses, I guess I resembled Gloops, but it was never said to me in anything but a put-down!I hated that little feline! Then, lo and behold, Garfield came on the scene. Thankfully, I was too old to have that name bestowed on me. Just as an afterthought, when I first got a computer, and entered into the world of 'user names and passwords', the only name that came to me was, you guessed it, GLOOPS!!! Still use it to this day as my password!
